Remove cabinets before tiling?
Terry asks:
I'm going to tile my kitchen floor. Should I remove all the base cabinets prior to tile install?
Jake's answer:
Terry, Unless you want to make for a lot of extra work for yourself, I would not recommend removing all of the base cabinets. You can put down a backer board like Durock, then install the tile. Be aware of the dishwasher and trash compactor, if you have them. Since you will be adding around ¾” height to your floor, the clearance for these appliances will be affected.
